#SCUChallenge 97 - Your Place in the World

Over the summer holiday period, our CU Home Learning Challenges will be focussing on a different continent of the world each week. Can you name all seven? Don't worry if you can't just yet - you will be able to by the end of our challenges! But before we get going, we want you to think about YOU and your place in the world.

There are over 7.8 BILLION people in the world but each one of us is very special. We are all unique! Think about where you feel you belong… Did you think about your home? Your street? Even your town or city? Bet you didn't think about which planet you belong to! So let’s get thinking about your special place in the world…

#SCUChallenge 96 - Story Sacks!

We all love a good story! There's nothing better than sitting down and getting whisked away by a brilliant book. If you've not yet signed up to the Summer Reading Challenge, then have a look at our other challenge (https://bit.ly/SCUChallenge62) as this will guide you to some fantastic activities and ways to collect even more CU credits. In the meantime, this challenge will get you really thinking about your story - the characters, the plot, the setting, for you to create a story sack to accompany your story!

#SCUChallenge 95 - Fantastic Fingerprints!

Fingerprints are the impressions left by the tiny ridges of skin on your fingers. These ridges help us feel things and grip objects. No two people have identical fingerprints, but fingerprint patterns tend to run in families. I wonder if you can spot any patterns in your family's finger prints? These patterns often look like whirls, loops, or arches. 

When you touch a surface, your fingers leave prints of sweat and oil behind. Sometimes, the police use these unique prints left at many crime scenes, to identify who has been there. The scientific study of fingerprints is called dermatoglyphics ('derma' means skin and 'glyphics' means carving). This challenge helps you to create some finger prints to look at.

#SCUChallenge 93 - Decision Making

We all have to make decisions all the time. Sometimes, it might be a small decision about what we'd like to do/play with or what to eat for dinner. Sometimes, we have to make decisions which are more difficult, especially as we grow up into adults. These decisions are often more difficult because they affect more people, sometimes even the whole country.

The Government of our country have lots of difficult decisions to make - they have to listen to the views of lots of people who might not agree on things, then try and make the decision which is the best one for as many people as possible. They meet in a huge building in London, called the Houses of Parliament. Today, we challenge you to do a virtual tour and make some decisions about whats important to you!
